Garlic Ginger Brussels Sprouts

They can actually be a good thing, you know! I mean come on, these babies are SMOTHERED in garlic and ginger. Does it get any better that that? Trust me – even the hubs was skeptical about the whole brussels sprouts thing, but after one bite (and a “holy cow”) he ended up LOVING them!

The hubs and I went to a food truck frenzie recently and there was a Miami based Asian Fusion truck called Dim ssam a gogo that was UH-MAZING. We tried a few items (each of which were incredible), however I noticed an item on the menu that i WISH i tried (Ginger Brussels Sprouts). I thought about them for a few days afterwards and just couldn’t take it anymore! I HAD to make my own. And these babies were born!

Ingredients:

Directions:

Peel off the outer leaves of the brussel sprouts, trim the stalk, and then halve (or quarter for the large ones) them (How to video here).

Heat 3 tablespoons of the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once, it is nice and hot, add the brussel sprouts. Leave alone for 2-3 minutes allowing to brown, toss and do the same for another 2-3 minutes. Do this one last time for an additional 2-3 minutes. They should be browning up nicely.

Add the remaining tablespoon of canola oil along with the garlic and ginger, and stir well. Saute for just a couple minutes. Sprinkle with a little salt, red pepper, and the soy sauce. Stir to combine and serve hot!

[…] Brussel Sprouts, and wasn’t sure how to use them when I first started, I nabbed this delicious garlic-ginger recipe from Tina at My Life as a Mrs. She has some AMAZING recipes! I discovered her blog a few weeks ago, […]

I loved your story because that is why I was looking for this recipe. I tried these brussels sprouts at Sakaya Kitchen in Miami, they are the owners of the food truck you mentioned, and they were AMAZING!!! so I wanted to make them at home. I will try your recipe today.
